To all whom t 'may concern Be 1t known that I, DAVID SPIREK, a cltlzen i Vof the United States, residing at Fort Dodge,

- consists essentially in the provision of an y .apparatus of this nature so arranged that the turning rollers may be adjusted in different relative positions to one another and actuated by an adjustable sprocket cham and gear connection therewith. l

The invention comprises various other details of construction, combination and arrangement of arts which will be hereinafter fully describe s, shown in the accompanying \casing, not shown.

drawings and then specifically defined in the appended claim. l

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this application, and in which: v

Figure 1 is a top plan View of the frame adapted to be posltionedv within a suitable Fig. 2 is a sectional v1ew on line 2-2 of Fi .v 1. v F Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 3 3 of Fig. 4 is. a side view of the frame, and

Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view of a hanger.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter:

A designates a rectangular outlined frame made of two complemental sections B and C the adjacent lower edges of which are provided with oppositely disposed scalloped portions D. forming bearings for rollers E. Midwa between the opposite longitudinal sides o the frame and in the' Ibottom thereof is formed a row of -holes H, and K designatesrpins adapted to seat in said lholes and provided with concaved bearing heads L adapted to form bearin s for the central portions of the rollers. procket wheels N are fastened to the corresponding ends of the rollers outside the frame, and each sprocket wheel has a collar O held by means of a. set screw to the roller. A sprocket chain R passes .about said sprocket wheels and forms means for driving the same in unison in the same direction. .An adjustable hanger T has a slot T therein, and in the outer end of said bracket member, which is curved, is mounted a pin S upon which a sprocket wheel S is journaled and over which the sprocket chain passes. An adjusting screw Q is mounted in a threaded lug J fastened to the side of the frame, said screw bearing against an angled end T2 and serves as `a means for moving the hanger into adjusted positions, and X designates a bolt passing through said slot in the hanger and also the frame and serves to hold the hanger in an adjusted position.

The roller at the ,extreme left of the casinghas a projecting angular outlined end E over which a crank, providedwith a central outlined socket,l may be placed for the purpose of retaining the various rollers in unison with each other in the same direction.

In operation, when the parts are connected as shown, the eggs are placed upon the rollers which may be held in different adjusted positions through the mechanism described,
